Working with wood which has been created and nurtured by God is a relaxing and fulfilling hobby. I hope to illustrate this blog with handiwork which comes from my work and I hope you will enjoy seeing these photos. I also hope to add to essays and thoughts I have added previously to "Things Unseen".

What does Jesus' love compel us to do? Chris Gonzolez wrote this on Christmas day. It is the love of Jesus that prompts us to risk for His sake. God was willing to risk His only son, as a vulnerable infant, to be protected and nourished by the humans He created.

He wants us to be willing to risk. Too often, I'm just trying to survive with as little confrontation as possible. Chris says "To place oneself at risk for the sake of love is beautiful and crazy at the same time." God give me the courage and integrity to be crazy for You.
